Ooh, I'd forgotten all about that series. Yeah, they'd all make really nice decoration.

By the way, in Super Valis IV you could also get Lena (the girl who takes over as the main heroine) temporally frozen by letting icicles fall on her. It wasn't that great though, plus it's fairly late into the game. Not to mention the whole game felt like a step back from Valis III. Or was it Valis II? The one where you could play as different people was my favorite.

The one with multiple player characters was indeed Valis III. Rather like Castlevania III in that respect, funnily enough. (They also both feature 'frozen' women you have to free.)

I'm actually going to eat my own words a bit here, as while none of the Valis games particularly impressed me, I was nevertheless interested enough to pick up the PC-Engine CD versions of all four.And, although I've only played the PCE Valis I so far, it's so much better than any of the Megadrive/SNES versions it's not even funny.Of course, Valis I was actually the last one to be remade for the PCE, so the others may not be up to the same standard.It'll be interesting to see if the PCE Valis IV also has a freeze in it, and what trapped Valna looks like in PCE Valis III.

BTW, I know it's off-topic but does anyone know where I can see the promotional Valis anime episodes?

Oh, hey, I'd almost forgotten about this. Thanks for re-posting my lost post. By the way Aegis, are you a Castlevania fan? As if I didn't recognize your avatar from the Portrait of Ruin site. That's probably the cutest version of our lady gorgon ever.

Eheh, you noticed, huh? I've kinda got Medusa Project to thank for that, actually! I'd always liked playing Castlevania Chronicles but it didn't go much further.Until reading some old discussion on here (can't remember which one), which inspired me to get Dracula X Chronicles months earlier than I'd planned to...And now there's no going back. I do prefer "Classicvania" to "Metroidvania" but it seems there won't be (m)any of those any more...It's nice that Medusa (or someone similar) is in just about every game but they keep missing tricks, like in Castlevania 64, and Symphony of the Night, which has a great non-grayscale petrify effect with multiple poses, but only for Alucard, because some idiot decided that the extra characters (i.e. Maria) can't receive abnormal status like petrify...

As for the avatar, I just thought I should have something relevant to the board subject matter, and I liked that one so decided to use it.Though it's a bit irritating that all avatars seem to be stretched to 200x200 on this board.After all, I thought that, although the focus is on cute girls being turned to stone, why can't the one doing the stoning be cute too?Veloxiraptor's pics are a perfect example of this if you want to know what I'm getting at! You know the ones I mean, right?

Yeah, I hate it when the extra playable characters only seem to be put in as an afterthought.

Dark Magicianj Girl- let's face it, in the series, despite that there are cards that can turn monsters into stone, she won't be turn into one, though she was frozen in one episode, but still turning her into a stone statue is way more better than freezing her inside a crystal

Stellar Loussier- this girl is from the anime Gundam SEED Destiny so petrifying her is quite impossible, given the fact that the anime is more on technology and war, not magical stuff, but seing Stellar being turned into a stone statue would be quite interesting

Rosette Christopher- here's the funny thing about Rosette (from the anime Chrono Crusade), there was an episode that show that she used and her brother as well as Chrono, which is a demon, used to live in an orphanage, but since her brother has somewhat "demonic" powers which can petrify anyone, he turned everyone into stone statue, but by accident since he cannot control his power, but despite this, he did not petrify Rosette and Chrono. Of all the people that her brother can petrify, why didn't he turn Rosette into a stone statue? It would have been interesting. T____T

Nina Sakura- to those who have watched the anime Ultra Maniac then you'll know who this character is, but for those who don't, well, Nina is a witch, though instead of wands, she used some sort of a palm computer to make magical stuff. Though despite that the anime has magical girl, there is no petrification occurence, which is why, I want to see a petrified Nina Sakura.

Suigintou- so ok, Suigintou (from the anime series Rozen Maiden) is a doll with life, which in terms of ASFR, turning a girl into a doll is included in that genre, still, seeing Suigintou turned into a stone statue is very interesting for me

Chii- she may be a robot, so what, it doesn;t mean she is excempted from petrification, infact, Chii is one of the few anime girls, in my opinion, that is a perfect candidate for petrification, seeing her innocent expression while she is turned into a stone statue.

Meer Campbell- if you have watched Gundam SEED Destiny, then you'll know this girl. In my opinion, turning this girl into a stone statue is quite interesting

Well, characters that would be perfect ad a statues... I chose:-Eri Kagurazaka: the teacher in Full Metal Panic anche Full metal Panic Fumofu series.- Saori-Athena: well, she doesn't need presentation.- Rella from Cindarella Boy and Fujiko from Lupin.- Nina and her sister from Tekken series.- The girl with Green hair in Mermaid Melody serie.-Kalifa from One piece.- Misato from Evangelion.- Misaki Matsuya from Excel Saga.- Lucy Heartfiria from Fairy Tail.- Zatanna, Lois Lane, Isis and Black canary from Dc comics.- Ms Marvel, Scarlet Bitch,The invisible woman (but NOT with her stupid costume)and Mj from Marvel.And in general all the female characters that look like me sexy.I don't have interest in too young girls, or dressed in scholar uniform or this kind of thing.I prefer woman that looks like a woman, not children

That's something I never considered actually, a Wii/PS3/Xbox remake of older Final Fantasy games like 7 or 8 would lead to our favourite females becoming ultra-sexy Imagine it, a petrified Yuffie that isn't just that rubbish brown maskover thing! A truly statuesque Rinoa for the 21st century! And maybe even some more detail up Tifa and Selphie's skirts

Wouldn't it be nice as well if they decided to throw in alternative or customisable costumes like Star Ocean or MMORPGs? Square probably wouldn't give us this sort of fanservice but imagine having Aeris or Quistis run around in their bra and panties to be petrified.

Or remake FF9 and put Dagger in something a little sexier than the jumpsuit.And while we're at it, a DS remake of Final Fantasy 6 might let us see Terra and Celes as wonderful 3d statues for the first time ever... I'd better stop now.

So, Kairi it's also my of my favorite character (most in the second chapter of Kingdom heart)Maybe it's not true, but I read that in Kingdom Heart Birth by slee (the new chapter for Psp), Sora Riku and Kairi are turned into stone.Part of the story (in theory) talks about the tentative of the tree new character (Ven, Aqua, and Terra, maybe the old brothesr of the protagonists) to rescue them from that destiny, using time travels.I repete, maybe it's not true...
